Benton Heights, MI

Benton Heights is a Berrien County census-designated place inside Benton Charter Township, alongside Benton Harbor’s city line. The community was once called Euclid Center and adopted the Benton Heights name in 1957; the 2020 census counted 3,652 residents. There is no separate municipal government here, so the practical local map runs through the township, Benton Harbor Area Schools, and the nearby city’s parks, lakefront, and services. Benton Heights sits in a county shaped by fruit farming, industry, ports, and Lake Michigan access. Its name marks a neighborhood-sized community, while the surrounding Benton Harbor–St. Joseph area supplies the institutions and regional connections that make the name useful on a daily map.
